{ VINTAGE TIN }

Discussion in 'The Antiquated' started by Ron Funkhouser, May 2, 2018.

  1. { I LOVE TIN!} Most of the coolest stuff made before 1965 , was usually made of { TIN } The Toys, beer and soda cans. Then there were the tin signs, auto polishes, old oil cans etc. etc. etc. What Cool stuff do you have? :) Thanks Ron.... 20161025_153119.jpg 493.jpg 2594.jpg 713.jpg 712.jpg 20160915_222343.jpg
     
  2. Great idea for a thread, Ron. That Prince Albert can really brought back some childhood memories. When I was in grade school, my buddies and I used to call the local mom & pop store, Donaldson's, almost daily.

    Me: This is Mr. Smith. Do you have Prince Albert in the can?
    Donaldson's: Why, yes we do.
    Me: Well then, let him out!! (hang up)

    They just never seemed to catch on and we laughed ourselves silly!:)
     
  3. That's funny! We did the phone pranks as a kid also. As is your refrigerator running? Well yes. Then you better go catch it! And then laugh like crazy:D
    (A STORY) My grandad's garage was so COOL. I remember it was fun looking at all the junk he had hanging in it. Every wall and ceiling was covered with old stuff. When a friend or neighbor needed anything they went to him. I've done the same. Lol I'm posting here, because the walls are covered in mostly old TIN junk too:confused:. Ron...

  4. Refrigerator running? That's funny, too! I guess kids are the same everywhere. Like the garage decorations, too.

    Here's a tin sign my wife's grandmother was throwing out when she sold her house. Not sure what else she got rid of before I managed to get this. Its about 4 ft wide and in really good shape.

  15. .................I do remember that smell, Ron. That's crazy isn't it! Don't know if it was the packaging or the tin itself or the lead-based paint that we all played with for hours back then.:eek:

    I am 53 and my parents asked that I get my 400 beer cans, collected during my youth, out of my old closet. This is one of them. Probably from the mid 70s. 20180527_151422.jpg

  26. A vintage tin Coke container.
    Notice you could get six for 25 cents. The container is an original. The bottles of Cokes aren't. I guess that you took the empties back to the store and traded them for new ones. 20181026_182518.jpeg
